LAS VEGAS (FOX5) – A downtown supermarket was fined by the Nevada Gaming Commission in October after Las Vegas police said a cashier helped facilitate methamphetamine sales in the store.
According to a complaint filed on October 20, the investigation took place at the Family Food Mart at 1102 Fremont Street.
In May, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was contacted by several people alleging that illegal drugs were being sold out of business.
In June, a confidential informant was able to buy 0.62 grams of meth in the store. According to the police, the CI used a code phrase at the cash register and was then referred to someone who was sitting at a slot machine. This person then sold the CI meth in the play area, the police said.
Las Vegas Police had another 1.36 grams CI purchase by the same method in June. “The CI told Metro that this purchase was made in front of the cashier and the person selling the methamphetamine did not try to hide the transaction from the cashier,” the report said.
No arrest warrants have been filed in the case.
“… This failure to prevent the above reflects or tends to affect the reputation of gaming in the state of Nevada and / or is detrimental to the development of the gaming industry and / or tends to to discredit the state of Nevada’s gaming industry, “the report said.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board asked the commission to fine the deal and take action if necessary.
According to NGCB records dated Oct. 28, the Family Food Mart representative admitted each allegation and agreed to pay the commission a $ 25,000 fine. The company’s gaming license has also been extended to include one condition.
